    The 1st annual Hawaii Motorcycle Rally (HMR) 2014 is officially in the books. Mother Nature finally agreed to let the show happen this weekend since it was previously re-scheduled due to the two hurricanes anticipated a few weeks ago.           It was nice to see an event that brought

    “The heart of rock ’n roll and 2-wheel hot rods” is centered at the Harley-Davidson Museum in Milwaukee, and every Labor Day the dedicated come to celebrate on the museum’s hallowed ground.

      Sturgis is over and everyone who went should be back home by now. I have finished most of my articles and they are posted here on Bikernet including the ones that started somewhere else and ended up at the CHIP.       NO Report on Sturgis would be complete without mentioning

    At Biker Pros we put on custom bike shows across the country with the objective to support the industry and keep customizing alive and well in the USof A. Our 2015 series kicked off in Sturgis and will visit 13 cities and award over $90,000 in cash and prizes.   On Tuesday, August

        It was a crispy July morning in Winston Salem. I was at the car show, soaking in the sun, as the candy paint reflections of hot rods and choppers cooked my skin from all angles, like the Smoke Out did the weekend before. To my delight, no one mentions the heat.

    I have been lucky enough to ride to Sturgis for their Black Hills Classic Motorcycle Event for many years.

    Now in its 23rd year, the 2014 edition of the LA Calendar Motorcycle Show was held this year on the lush lawns of the Malibu Golf Course, in the Santa Monica Mountains, near the Pacific Ocean.   Highlighting this year’s activities was the emergence of a new custom bike builder to the sport. 

  Thursday night Tesla rocked the battlefields in Gettysburg. Following an excellent day of riding and visiting the band played for over an hour without a break. Jeff Keith can belt out the songs and was truly excited to be at the rally. His energy is contagious and he really lights up the stage. The

Not sure where to start. I’m writing about the quirkiest event on the planet run by a staid group of retired lifetime military, the SmokeOut squad, like a commando raid on a race track. This year afforded me the opportunity to ride a new Indian Vintage. I haven’t had the occasion to throw a leg

    All roads don’t lead to Hollister but it was the morning of July 4th and what few there were I knew would be crowded. An early start riding from Moss Landing over Hwy 152 got me a cup of coffee from Gilroy Motorcycle Center when they opened and a road free of traffic.

    It was that time of year again, time for the SmokeOut to hit Rockingham, North Carolina.  This is one event I always look forward to and mark on my calendar months in advance.  It never gets old or tired because you never know what or who you will see.     This year

Last night we got the call. “Blaze to Melrose the gang is waiting,” Snake issued the announcement and hung up. We peeled.

    In Wyoming you can never predict what direction the wind will be blowing from but it will always be blowing. For the May weekend the wind blew me to Casper. Fortunately the weather was nice and it was perfect for a motorcycle show. Robert “Bobby” Eldridge had a dream of a bike rally
